Role within the church
I was elected as an Elder in November 2007, having stood down in 2005 for family & personal reasons. I have particular responsibilities that include Mission and the search for a new meeting place with the school where we currently meet due to close in 2009.

Family
I married Alison in 1990. We have three children, aged between 15 & 9. I am a Police Officer in Worcester.

Testimony
I was brought up in a Christian home and my parents, who lived in various countries in Africa & the Pacific, always took us to church. That gave me a good basic understanding of the Bible and Christian doctrine. But it was when I was 11 years old, through a Christian group at boarding school, that I first properly understood that Jesus died for me personally and I set out to try to serve Him

Interests
I enjoy watching and playing sport, particularly Football & Cricket. I am a passionate supporter of Shrewsbury Town and have successfully indoctrinated my son. I also enjoy walking, much to the disgust of my children. I only really get to watch the News & Match of the Day. I also enjoy the Nature programmes. I really dont listen to music, though I do enjoy listening to my daughters playing the piano & flute and my son chanting Shrewsbury Town football songs (the clean ones!) can sometimes be amusing!

Favourite scripture
Romans 8, 28-39

Favourite place on this planet
A difficult choice between the South Island of New Zealand (Doubtful Sound) and the wonderful Fiji Islands, where I was fortunate to spend much of my childhood
